I heard at the hackathon that a couple of vendors have tried / are doing 
this, and most of the pitfalls were size. OpenBmc also makes the problem 
more interesting as the schemas aren't normally all that difficult to 
create, it's negotiating with dbus, limiting the api calls, and all the 
interfaces that seems to cause most of the problems. I'd be interested 
in what code you're trying to generate and what problem you're trying to 
solve. If you have some sort of white paper I'd be willing to give feedback.
